'Mint Julep' rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:
Jack Christensen says the buds are pale pink and the flowers are green... and this rose is no longer available...
A correspondent from Southern California says 'Mint Julep' does well for her -- she got a couple of plants from the Michigan Bulb Company. Another correspondent had this to say: This rose seems to do best in mild weather. Flowers tend to be dull gray when the weather has been consistently cool. In warm eather, the colors are indeed green with a pink hue, and hold for quite awhile.
